English Miscellaneous Function Words Fragment #

Closed-class items that don't fit a more specific Fragment file:

The auxiliaries (modals + do-support + be + have + modal adverbs + infinitival particle) live in Fragments/English/Auxiliaries.lean. The complementizers (that, if, whether, ...) live in Fragments/English/Complementizers.lean.

This file may be split further as topic-specific Fragment files emerge.

                                      An adverbial quantifier entry: a closed-class adverb that quantifies over situations (times, events, occasions).

                                      In @cite{percus-2000}'s framework, adverbial quantifiers take a situation pronoun that determines their domain and introduce a new λs binder over their nuclear scope. Generalization Y constrains the situation pronoun to be bound by the nearest c-commanding λ.
